Pride + Prejudice + Zombies Tutorial- The Elizabeth

This is the second tutorial for BH's Cosmetics Pride + Prejudice + Zombies TM Eye and Cheek Palette ( $12.50).  To view the first tutorial, The Jane, click HERE.  This look is inspired by the movie's and Jane Austen's most famous heroine, Elizabeth Bennet.  The Elizabeth is a sultry, witty, and sophisticated look that emphasizes all eye colors  Let's get started (refer to the below pic for eyeshadow colors)!

1.  Prime your eyelids.  As in The Jane, smooth eye primer all over eyelids.

2.  Apply highlighter shade to brow bone down to crease.  Using a flat shader brush, gently pat on eyeshadow color 1.

3.  Blend transition shade into crease.  Using a fluffy blender brush, smooth eyeshadow color 4 into crease.  Lightly bring the color up slightly above the crease.

4.  Define crease using a dark shade.  Apply the dark brown color, eyeshadow color 5, into the crease using a small crease brush.  Use the fluffy blending brush to smooth out the color in a windshield wiper motion.

5.  Pat on silver chrome color on eyelid.  Take a medium shader brush and dip it into eyeshadow color 11.  Gently pat the color onto the entire eyelid.  If fallout happens, use a large powder brush to remove the eyeshadow off cheek and underneath the eye.

6.  Define lower eyelash line.  Apply eyeshadow color 4 and blend onto the the lower eyelash line.

7.  Rim upper and lower eyelash lines with eyeliner.  I like Smashbox's Always Sharp Waterproof Kohl Eyeliner in Sumatra.

8.  Finish the look.  Use the same mascara as in The Jane.  Apply blush number 15 on apples of cheeks.  Gently blend highlighter number 13 above blush, on the bridge of your nose, and the cupid's bow above your lips.  Apply a pink-nude lipstick.  I like Mary Kay's Gel Semi Matte lipstick in Bashful You.


Have Fun!

Pride + Prejudice + Zombies Tutorial- The Jane

This is the first of five eye tutorials for BH's cosmetics Pride + Prejudice + Zombies Eye and Cheek Palette ($12.50).  This eye tutorial looks is inspired by the movie's and Jane Austen's character Jane Bennet.  The Jane is a sweet, unassuming, and very feminine look-just like Jane herself.  Let's get started (refer to the below pic for eyeshadow colors)!



1.  Prime your eyelids and brow bone- I like Urban Decay's Eyeshadow Primer Potion in Eden ($20.00).  It applies as a nude, matte shade to give your eyeshadow crease-free staying power for 24 hours.

2.  Apply highlighter shade- Using a flat eyeshadow brush, gently tap eyeshadow 7 to brow bone down to crease.

3.  Blend transition color-  Lightly tap a fluffy blending eyeshadow brush into eyeshadow 4 and apply to crease.  Blend the color slightly above the crease line.

4.  Use dark brown shade as the crease color- Take a crease brush and dip into eyeshadow 5 and apply directly into crease.  Use the blending eyeshadow brush to smooth out any harsh lines.  Do not overly blend.

5.  Apply blush over eyelid- Wipe the crease brush clean and use it to apply the warm blush (color 15) all over the eyelid.

6.  Enhance eye color with gold- Using a flat eyeshadow brush, lightly apply eyeshadow 2 on eyelid.  Also, apply eyeshadow 2 in the corner of your eyes (use pinkie finger).

7.  Waterline and tightline eyes with black eyeliner- I like Smashbox's Always Sharp Waterproof Kohl Liner in Raven ($21.00).

8.  Boost lashes with mascara- I use Maybelline's Volum' Express The Rocket Waterproof Mascara ($6.99) for my upper lashes and Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara ($11.50) for lower lashes.

9.  Finish the look- Use blush in shade 14 on apples of cheeks.  And highligher in shade 13 above blush and the high points of your face.  A glossy lip color will tie the look together.  I like Mary Kay's Nourishine in Fancy Nancy ($15.00).
